It would be great to purchase a crate made of moulded fiberglass. As your dog sees the crate he knows that the crate is a room of his very own when you are not with him or not giving your complete attention.

Stay with your dog and have him on a lead if possible. You absolutely must not play with him. Your dog should learn from the beginning that this is not playtime or walk time, it is "potty time."

The moment your dachsunds begins to relieve himself,say the word that you have chosen for your potty word. It can be "go potty", "hurry", or anything else. Just pick a word and don't change it! As the puppy is eliminating, repeat your selected word in a pleasant and admiring tone of voice..

When he finishes, offer him a "snack" and admire him profusely! Take the pup back inside for food, playtime, etc. Remember to take him back outside after food or playtime. After twenty minutes, it's back in the crate for both rest and reinforcement. Continue this cycle until the evening.

If you desire your puppy to stay clean all through the night dont give food and water to him after 10:00 p.m. Employing the use of a dog crate in your home will provide your dog with a place he can call home hence provide him with a warm bedding. It is also essential for you to move the crate near your bedroom during the night for your dachshund

(I have found that a cold puppy is soon a "wet" puppy.) Most puppies will settle in comfortably well if they are near your bed. When the puppy wakes up in the morning, he will kick up a fuss to go out. Remember your areas and treats!
